HELP! Sick Rooster!!

[roostersandhens]

what's it like when a chicken has a seizure and what do you think caused it?

When Oreo had a seizure he was falling down gasping for air and backing into the sides of his cage. It is really scary because usually a chicken dies when they start having seizures. But he seems okay. I have absolutely no clue what caused it!

I think hypoglycemia can cause them, but don't quote me on that.

I am going to pick up more medicine from the vet. He has been prescribed some new medications.

He might not be digesting everything without being rehydrated and the food is choking him.
Electrolytes are very important when rehydrating unless you can give them under the skin It might even be too late. Don't know why the vet did not do that but I have seen vets on the internet not being able to save a kitten because they did not know that.

He is acting very weird, I am not sure if he is going to make it

I will keep everyone updated.. I am very worried about my sweet rooster (Oreo)..

What did the vet say? Didn't you get a new medication? Hope he makes it.

How is Oreo?

I had to have him put to sleep.

He wasn't going to make it, and he was just suffering.

I miss him soooo much.

Rest in Peace Oreo.

I can't remember what the vet had prescribed, it was a shot, and it was instead of the Baytril..
